Press Secretary: Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties. They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts. But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors. So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?

Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.
The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.
The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future.
The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.
Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects. 参考答案选B，不懂....

Many residents of Calovia are committed to using products containing recycled materials. Soon these consumers will get help in identifying such products from a book being published by the Calovian government. The book offers a comprehensive listing, by product type and brand, of goods sold in Calovia that contain recycled material. Therefore, publication of the book will almost certainly increase the use of products containing recycled materials in Calovia.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

Proceeds from the sale of the book are not expected to exceed the cost of its publication.
For numerous types of products, there are many brands that use recycled materials, although their manufacturers and distributors do nothing to advertise those brands’ recycled content.
For many materials, such as plastics, the recycling process results in a lower grade of material with a correspondingly different range of uses.
For many types of products listed in the book, all the brands available in Calovia use recycled materials.
Many manufacturers of products that contain recycled materials vary the proportion of recycled materials in those products in response to changes in price and availability. 我选了D，答案选B，虽然可以strengthen，但argument是说那本书的出版会使recycled materials的使用增加，选项应该跟结论（也就是那本书）沾上边吧
